It’s been several weeks since I last posted something here. This is beause I’ve been rather busy preparing to get married, getting married, and then having a honeymoon. Anyway I’m back and I’d thought I’d write a little something about a little task I set myself a few days back.

As an IT enthusiast I have far too many computers. I won’t even begin to go into just how many and the various states of repair, but the point is I have more than one computer and from my other posts you may also have noted that I like to have my IT on the move.

As every good martial artist knows, duck the roundhouse kick to the head and you might just live long enough to be hit by the fist behind the beard of Chuck Norris.

I’ve already raved about NoteTab and now there’s a great reason to rave some more. The free version of NoteTab is NoteTab Light and I’ve been using this for many years both when I was a student and in a working environment where getting people to sign off software purchases for software like this was incredibly difficult.
